Sheraton Complaint - Inexcusable Service - Hotel

Hotel - Complaint
Review by mikes on 2007-09-27
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS -- We were at the Boston Sheraton on Dalton street for a four day weekend. Hotel security blew a small situation into a large problem by calling the police, then calling again for re-enforcements, when no action of any kind was requested or needed. We were thrown out onto the street during an AARP convention. The only rooms in town were $510.00 per night. We ended up staying an hour and a half away from town in a very bad area. We were then charged on our credit card for leaving our reservation early!

Hotel management did nothing to help and turned a deft ear to our problem. I guess this ends any further trips to Boston.

OK, that was half of nothing. What really happened? Would love to hear the hotel's side of this... Not Helpful.

More details would be nice.

Need more info. I'm betting there is a valid reason they threw you out, maybe that's why your not telling us.

Mikes, I realize that no sign was posted saying you were not allowed to do it, but throwing all your room furniture into the pool can have a major chilling effect on your hotel relations. And we all know how violent those AARP conventions can get!

Burning with curiousity: What's the 'very bad area' that's 90 minutes from Boston? Cape Cod? The Berkshires? New Hampshire? Providence? I am stumped.

He must have been staying in a hotel in my neighborhood! What's a deft ear anyway? More information the incident would be helpful too.

Going to Boston this weekend--hoping to stay out of trouble! It may be difficult as my daughter and my friend (of 40 years!) are plannning to party it up a bit to celebrate our long friendship. Don't plan on throwing anything out the windows though (lol). Seriously though, would also like to hear the rest of this story to clarify what really happened. It seems like something went way wrong to get thrown out. We made our reservations weeks ago and the rooms were pretty scarce in the downtown Boston area. We are paying dearly.

What the hell were you doing, racing wheelchairs though the bar? Jousting with canes and walkers?
Did you tie a knot in someone's oxygen tank hose?
Snapping little old ladies in the butt with your support hose?
An AARP convention is a real laff-riot, No?
